Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving down the road at 50mph when a animal came out of the ditch. I then pulled clutch in so I could brake. Once I did this the bike stalled. To get the bike going again I released the clutch, but once I did this the bike just locked the back tire. I then pulled clutch in again and then it started. I attempted to pull to the side of the road, when I noticed that the clutch was not disengaging I knew there was something wrong. Got the bike back home, and pulled the clutch case off to find two clutch disks had shattered. This also caused the clutch basket to break. …”
